View Full Version : rechargeable battery and solar panel question?
I was trying to get more out of my scouting camera and was wanting some info.. I have a rechargeable moultrie 6-volt rechargeable battery that i bought from wal-mart. So now I bought a 6-volt solar panel. Here is the info. on the box. (For use with 6v gel cell ( rechargeable batteries) only-do not use spring-top, lantern style or alkaline batteries. The power rating is .63, the Voc is 9V and the Isc is 70mA. I know nothing about batteries and charging and was wondering if this combination would be alright. Thanks for any input.

It sounds like you should be able to use that combination, but I would e-mail the camera's company to make sure it will work together.
We use just a rechargable 12v battery for our stealth cams and check them every couple of weeks. So far there hasn't been a dead battery (but we do bring them home to charge over night and put them back out) and we have been having some really cold weather so you might not need the solar part if it won't work with the battery you have.

If the battery is a 6 volt gel cell or rechargeable 6 volt battery it should work fine.
